Caps Forward Joel Ward Uses Twitter To Escape A Locked Bathroom

That’s the tweet that was Washington Capitals forward Joel Ward’s cry for help as he was locked in a bathroom at a Dallas hotel. Like any smart millennial would, Ward took to Twitter to broadcast his dilemma and find a way out.

As told by Ward to the Washington Post:

I tried to come out and I flipped the switch a little bit, but it wasn’t really coming undone…I’m in panic mode because I realized the door wasn’t going to open on me. I texted Karl [Alzner] to see if he was still around. Basically we had the whole Dallas SWAT team come in and still couldn’t open the door.

And as expected, the event came as a major delight to fellow Caps teammates.
